You were asked – TMP link Wargaming the Sudan 1883-1885: Do you recreate historical battles, or do you game hypotheticals mixing up the units of different columns for a generic game? Same as is done with, say, Napoleonics, we game battles that are made from our collections, and occasionally a historical refight. Average result: 32% historical games, 68% hypothetical games

That's pretty obvious from all of the Khartoum games where the city is portrayed as being walled, which it was not.

But it was in the movie! You mean that "Hollywood" lied to us. Oh, the horror! Jim
